HISTORY  OF  THE  REYNOLDS  CLUB 


The  Reynolds  Club  of  the  University  of  Chicago 
is  indebted  for  its  existence  to  Mr.  Joseph  Reynolds. 
Although  the  plan  was  conceived  in  the  mind  of  for¬ 
mer  President,  William  Rainey  Harper,  and  furthered 
by  the  executor  of  the  Reynolds  estate,  Mr.  Jay 
Morton,  the  means  of  its  accomplishment  were  pro¬ 
vided  by  a  man  who  desired  that  the  result  of  his 
labors  might  be  made  worth  while  by  giving  to  young 
men  opportunities  which  he  enjoyed  only  toward  the 
end  of  his  life. 

Joseph  Reynolds  was  born  in  Fallsburgh,  Sullivan 
County,  New  York,  June  n,  1819,  and  died  in  Con¬ 
gress,  Arizona,  February  21,  1891.  He  was  of  Quaker 
parentage  and  a  pioneer  of  the  Middle  West.  During 
the  first  thirty-seven  years  of  his  life  he  lived  in  New 
York  State.  After  finishing  a  common-school  course, 
he  taught  during  the  winter  months,  and  became  a 
drover  and  cattle  dealer  in  the  spring  and  summer.  A 
season  which  showed  a  balance  of  but  three  dollars 
profit  caused  him  to  join  his  brother  in  conducting  a 
general  store.  After  his  marriage  to  Mary  E.  Morton 
in  1845,  he  built  and  operated  a  flour  mill.  This  ven¬ 
ture  was  very  successful.  Subsequently  he  undertook 
also  the  tanning  of  leather,  and  again  he  was  success¬ 
ful.  In  1856  he  sold  these  interests  and  moved  to  Chi¬ 
cago,  where  he  engaged  in  the  fur  trade.  Later  he 


5 


History  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


turned  his  attention  to  buying  and  selling  grain,  and 
established  a  line  of  boats  on  the  Mississippi,  running 
between  St.  Louis  and  St.  Paul.  This  line  is  still  in  ex¬ 
istence  and  until  recently  was  known  under  its  origi¬ 
nal  name  as  the  “Diamond  Jo  Steamship  Lines  Com¬ 
pany/'  The  sobriquet  “Diamond  Jo,"  Mr.  Reynolds  re¬ 
ceived  from  his  trade  mark — four  lines  in  a  diamond 
about  “Jo."  In  the  early  8o’s  he  built  the  Hot  Springs 
Railroad,  a  narrow-gauge  line  from  Malvern  to  Hot 
Springs,  Arkansas,  which  proved  very  profitable.  In 
later  years  he  engaged  in  mining,  owning  several  val¬ 
uable  properties,  among  which  were  the  Congress 
Mine  in  Arizona  and  the  Jo  Reynolds  Mine  in  Colo¬ 
rado. 

Blake  Reynolds,  an  only  son,  died  while  on  the 
threshold  of  manhood,  and  it  is  thought  that  the  inter¬ 
est  which  his  father  had  in  him  was  widened  to  include 
all  young  men.  The  difficulties  of  his  own  youth  fur¬ 
nished  him  with  a  purpose.  At  first  it  was  his  idea, 
perhaps,  to  found  a  Trades  School.  His  widow,  how¬ 
ever,  who  survived  him  nearly  five  years,  provided 
that  a  sum  of  money  should  be  given  to  the  Uniyersity 
of  Chicago  to  be  used  for  the  general  purpose  of  help¬ 
ing  deserving  students.  The  Club,  a  center  of  student 
life — a  common  meeting-place  for  all  the  men  of  the 
University — had  long  been  a  cherished  thought  of 
President  Harper,  and  the  approval  of  the  surviving 
relatives  and  the  executor  brought  about  its  materiali¬ 
zation.

ASSOCIATE  PROFESSOR  GEORGE  E.  VINCENT  DELIVERING  THE  CORNER  STONE  ADDRESS 


History  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


On  Saturday,  June  22,  1901,  Mr.  David  Allan 
Robertson,  Chairman  of  the  Senior  College  Council, 
laid  the  corner  stone  of  the  “Students’  Club  House,” 
as  it  was  then  called.  President  Harper’s  remarks  on 
this  occasion  give  us  a  vivid  idea  of  the  conception  he 
had  of  the  future  of  the  Club. 

The  average  college  man  receives  as  much  benefit  from 
his  fellow  student  as  from  the  officers  of  instruction  in  the 
college  with  whom  he  comes  in  contact.  College  life,  in  a 
word,  is  the  close  association  of  a  body  of  men  who  have 
in  general  common  sympathies.  This  life  is  in  miniature 
the  life  which  these  same  men  will  live  later  in  the  world 
at  large.  It  includes  friendships  and  animosities,  struggle 
and  achievement,  disappointment  and  victory.  The  college 
world  is  the  most  democratic  world  that  exists.  Occasion¬ 
ally,  to  be  sure,  politics  gains  an  entrance,  as  in  other 
democratic  communities — but,  generally  speaking,  the  man 
who  gains  distinction  earns  it. 

The  Student  Club  House  to  be  erected  on  this  corner  is 
expected  to  become  the  headquarters  of  student  life  and 
activity.  It  is  here  that  friendships  will  be  cemented,  bat¬ 
tles  fought,  victories  gained,  and  defeats  and  disappoint¬ 
ments  manfully  accepted.  It  is  impossible  to  overestimate 
the  importance  or  the  significance  of  this  new  addition  to 

the  university  life . It  was  Mr.  Reynold’s  desire  to  do 

something  for  boys  and  young  men.  In  the  erection  of 
this  building  that  desire  will  have  been  fulfilled.  The 
building  will  bear  his  name  and  will  stand  in  the  future 
as  the  memorial  of  a  man  whose  life  was  full  of  that  same 
vigor  which  he  desired  to  see  cultivated  by  the  men  of  the 
coming  generation. 

The  corner-stone  address  was  delivered  by  Asso¬ 
ciate  Professor  George  E.  Vincent,  as  follows: 

Yonder  stand  laboratories  devoted  to  the  sciences  of 
life;  here  we  raise  a  building  dedicated  to  the  art  of 
living.  There  day  by  day  trained  minds  peer  ever  farther 
into  the  secrets  of  tissue  and  cell,  but  they  will  never  lay 
bare  the  joys  of  comradeship  which  are  to  be  housed  here 
— the  stimulus  of  wit,  play,  the  fusing  power  of  humor,  the

soft  touch  of  sympathy,  the  thrill  of  common  enthusiasm, 
the  sturdy  sense  of  loyalty  to  one’s  fellows. 

The  University  takes  pride  in  her  laboratories,  but  she 
also  covets  for  her  students  something  of  the  charm  of  life 
in  the  cloisters  and  quadrangles  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge; 
she  would  preserve  in  some  sort  the  democracy  of  the 
old-time  New  England  campus;  she  would  unite  in  a 
larger  brotherhood  all  student  groups,  and  foster  among 
them  a  spirit  of  wider  fraternity. 

In  the  early  days  of  our  decennium  there  was  much 
talk  of  college  spirit,  as  of  a  commodity  to  be  had  some¬ 
where,  the  gift  perhaps  of  an  enthusiastic  donor.  There 
were  both  humor  and  pathos  in  the  eager  effort  to  lay 
hands  upon  the  intangible.  We  sang  of  “Old  Haskell 
Door”  before  its  varnish  was  yet  dry,  and  of  ivy-clad  halls 
which  stood  in  stony  innocence  like  Eve  before  the  fall. 

Now  we  speak  less  of  the  spirit,  for  the  thing  itself  has 
begun  to  inspire  us.  The  social  life  of  the  University  has 
organized  itself  into  various  groups,  and  these  in  turn  are 
grouping  toward  unity.  In  all  the  circumstances  this 
growth  has  been  unusually  rapid  and  stable.  But  the 
larger  grouping  has  been  hampered  by  lack  of  a  rallying 
place.  The  organized  clubs  have  had  no  social  clearing¬ 
house,  and  many  students  living  scattered  through  the 
great  city  area  have  looked  to  the  University  for  a  hearth¬ 
stone,  and  found  only  a  radiator. 

This  ceremony  is,  therefore,  full  of  meaning  for  the 
individual  student,  for  the  life  of  the  University,  and  for 
the  aims  and  ideals  of  the  higher  education  generally. 
We  are  laying  the  foundations  of  no  mere  academic  bar¬ 
racks  or  institution  for  homeless  waifs.  Here  a  friend 
provides  a  fit  dwelling  for  the  growing  unity  of  the  Uni¬ 
versity.  But  upon  you,  students,  rests  the  responsibility 
of  building  up  day  by  day  in  this  place  a  worthy  standard 
of  friendly  courtesy,  generous  fellowship,  and  corporate 
loyalty.  No  outside  influence  can  give  much  aid.  Each 
one  must  contribute  his  best  and  feel  an  obligation  to  the 
whole.  This  building  will  offer  opportunity  and  suggest 
possibilities,  but  you  and  your  successors  will  give  it  char¬ 
acter  and  determine  its  value.  Shall  it  be  a  mere  con¬ 
venient  resort,  or  shall  it  throb  with  the  spirit  of  true 
democracy  and  reverberate  with  the  cheers  of  a  united 


10 


Hist  ory  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


and  loyal  student  body?  I  have  faith  that  your  ideals  and 
enthusiasm  will  make  a  worthy  beginning. 

This  building  will  stand  also  as  a  symbol  of  the  part 
which  social  contact  plays  in  the  higher  education.  So 
important  is  this  deemed  that  as  old  conditions  yield  to 
new,  conscious  effort  is  made  to  preserve  and  foster  the 
element  of  comradeship.  Education  must  cherish  sentiment 
as  well  as  train  reason.  To  lose  the  just  proportion  is  to 
fail.  The  unthinking  enthusiast,  swept  away  by  every 
surge  of  feeling,  is  no  more  abnormal  than  the  mechanized 
thinker,  insulated  from  the  currents  of  emotion  which 
thrill  the  masses  of  mankind.  Our  times  demand  educated 
men  who  will  think  for  themselves,  criticize  and  at  times 
resist,  but  nevertheless  if  they  are  to  influence  their  fel¬ 
lows  they,  too,  must  know  the  deep  and  strong  emotions 
which  underlie  the  national  life.  College  years  with  all 
their  extravagances  and  absurdities  are  a  school  of  co¬ 
operation,  individual  sacrifice,  and  loyalty  to  the  group. 
The  student  who  cynically  or  apathetically  holds  aloof 
loses  more  than  passing  pleasure.  He  loses  the  joy  of 
companionship,  the  power  to  feel  a  common  enthusiasm, 
to  work  for  a  common  purpose.  Until  men  make  love  by 
logic,  until  they  rear  their  children  from  calculation,  until 
policy  spells  patriotism,  sentiment  will  fuse  them  together 
and  inspire  them  to  high  endeavor. 

Let  us,  then,  on  this  academic  soil  dedicated  to  the 
social  spirit  renew  our  vows  of  loyalty  to  our  own  Uni¬ 
versity,  to  the  larger  commonwealth  of  learning,  to  our 
nation,  and  to  mankind. 

In  December,  1901,  President  Harper  appointed  the 
Club  House  Commission  which  was  to  have  charge  of 
drawing  up  the  Constitution  and  organizing  the  Club. 
Mr.  J.  W.  Thompson,  assistant  professor  of  history, 
was  chairman  of  the  Commission,  and  Mr.  F.  G.  Smith 
was  secretary.  There  were  eight  representatives  from 
the  Faculty  on  the  Commission,  five  from  the  Graduate 
Council,  one  from  the  Graduate  School,  nine  from 
the  Divinity  Council,  five  from  the  Senior  Council, 


11 


History  of  The  R  eynolds  Club 


two  from  the  Senior  College,  four  from  the  Junior 
Council,  two  from  the  Junior  Colleges,  twelve  from 
the  Medical  Council,  one  from  the  Medical  School, 
and  one  each  from  the  Glee  Club,  the  Dramatic  Club, 
the  four  Houses,  and  the  ten  fraternities. 

This  commission  drew  up  the  Constitution  after  a 
great  deal  of  deliberation,  and  also  decided  upon  the 
name  of  the  Club.  In  the  early  issues  of  the  Maroon 
no  mention  of  the  Reynolds  Club  House  is  made  ex¬ 
cept  as  the  “Students'  Club  House.”  Before  the  Com¬ 
mission  had  decided  upon  a  name  for  the  Club,  the 
Weekly  Maroon  offered  a  prize  of  ten  dollars  for  the 
best  name.  Any  number  of  names  were  proposed,  but 
the  Commission  was  unanimous  in  naming  the  Club 
after  Mr.  Reynolds,  the  man  whose  widow  so  gener¬ 
ously  gave  the  money  which  made  its  existence  pos¬ 
sible.  There  was  hesitation  between  calling  it  the 
“Reynolds  Union”  (after  the  Harvard  Union)  or  the 
“Reynolds  Club”  (like  the  Houston  Club  at  Pennsyl¬ 
vania).  The  latter  name  finally  prevailed.  The  only 
other  work  of  the  Commission  was  to  plan  the  location 
of  the  pool  and  billiard  room,  the  reading-rooms,  the 
theater,  etc. 

By  October,  1902,  the  Club  house  had  been  inclosed 
and  the  formal  opening  was  dated  for  April  1,  1903, 
but  it  was  not  until  the  opening  of  the  Fall  Quarter  in 
October  that  the  Club  house  was  completed.  In  the 
meantime  President  Harper  had  appointed  a  commis¬ 
sion  of  students  to  manage  the  Club  for  the  first  six

weeks  of  the  Quarter,  as  it  was  impossible  to  hold 
elections  before  some  more  definite  organization  had 
taken  place  and  the  membership  could  be  ascertained. 

The  President  appointedAssistant  Professor  Henry 
Gordon  Gale  and  Assistant  Professor  J.  W.  Thompson 
to  serve  as  Faculty  representatives,  and  the  following 
students  on  this  commission : 

C.  B.  Elliott  F.  D.  Bramhall 

A.  E.  Bestor  H.  D.  Sulcer 

W.  R.  Jayne  H.  J.  Sloan 

P.  M.  Conrad  W.  W.  Hamburger 

E.  L.  Hartigan 

From  the  above  the  following  officers  were  elected: 

President,  Howard  J.  Sloan 
Vice-President,  Arthur  E.  Bestor 
Secretary,  C.  B.  Elliott 
Treasurer,  Henry  D.  Sulcer 

The  Reynolds  Club  was  open  to  all  students  during 
the  first  six  weeks  of  its  existence,  and  at  the  end  of 
that  time  all  who  wished  join  for  the  remainder  of  the 
Quarter  could  do  so  for  $1.00. 

Immediately  upon  the  opening  of  the  Reynolds 
Club  in  the  fall,  the  student  body  had  taken  a  great 
interest  in  it  and  the  pool  and  billiard  and  reading- 
rooms  were  always  crowded,  the  receipts  of  the  bil¬ 
liard  room  averaging  over  ten  dollars  a  day. 

When  the  first  nominating  caucus  was  called  on 
Tuesday,  November  io,  1903,  the  student  body  showed 
themselves  to  be  very  much  interested  in  the  doings  of 
the  Club.  The  Maroon  of  November  15,  1903,  says: 

The  election  is  on,  the  interest  of  the  Chicago  student 
body  is  centered  around  the  unique  ballot-box  in  the  Rey- 


14

nolds  Club  reading-room.  Groups  of  supporters  of  each 
of  the  principal  candidates  stand  near  the  door  and  waylay 
uncertain  voters  as  they  approach  the  polls. 

For  the  first  election  Assistant  Professor  Thompson 
secured  a  regular  ballot-box,  through  the  courtesy  of 
Mr.  I.  N.  Powell,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Election 
Commissioners  of  Chicago.  This  gave  an  air  of  real 
politics  to  the  election. 

So  the  Reynolds  Club  started  out  on  the  second 
term  of  the  Fall  Quarter,  working  under  a  good  con¬ 
stitution  and  with  a  membership  of  three  hundred  and 
fifty-six  active  members  and  one  hundred  and  fifty 
associates.  The  following  officers  were  elected  for 
that  year: 

President,  Howard  J.  Sloan 
Vice-President,  Oliver  P.  Wyman 
Secretary,  Roy  D.  Keehn 
Treasurer,  Leon  P.  Lewis 
Librarian,  Fred  A.  Fischel 

At  the  December  Convocation  the  formal  opening 
of  the  Club  took  place.  At  the  same  time  the  other 
buildings  known  as  the  Tower  Group  were  formally 
dedicated,  among  them  Mitchell  Tower,  Hutchinson 
Hall  or  the  Men’s  Commons,  and  the  Leon  Mandel 
Assembly  Hall.  Professor  George  E.  Vincent  deliv¬ 
ered  the  following  address : 

The  Reynolds  Club  will  serve  three  main  purposes  in 
the  life  of  University  men:  It  will  exalt  the  culture  of 
comradeship ;  it  will  be  at  once  symbol  and  means  of  asso¬ 
ciation.  Education  is  personal  growth,  not  manufacture; 
and  as  growth  it  demands  the  give-and-take  of  social 
intercourse,  the  development  of  insight  and  sympathy. 


15 


H  i  s  t  o  ry  of  The  Rey  nolds  Club 


The  Reynolds  Club  is  not  to  be  regarded  as  a  recreative 
annex,  but  as  an  essential  part  of  the  University's  equip¬ 
ment. 

Again,  this  building  will  represent  the  common  life  of 
University  men.  It  will  stand  for  catholicity,  not  for 
social  sectarianism;  it  will  transcend  and  unify  small 
groups;  it  will  mean  a  large  loyalty.  For  loyalty  grows 
in  widening  circles:  limit  it  to  family,  friends,  a  faction, 
and  it  will  dwarf  and  warp  judgment  and  feeling;  let  it 
enter  wider  fields,  and  it  will  expand  into  corporate  enthu¬ 
siasm,  civic  devotion,  patriotism.  A  great  university  must 
in  its  own  life  typify  the  finer,  more  generous  virtues  of 
broad  tolerance,  wide  sympathy,  and  fidelity  to  common 
ends. 

Moreover,  the  Reynolds  Club  will  gather  at  its  fireside 
in  general  fellowship  both  -students  and  alumni.  The  grad¬ 
uate  will  renew  the  joys  of  other  years  and  pass  on  a  rich 
tradition;  the  student  will  have  a  foretaste  of  life  in  the 
larger  world;  both  will  be  drawn  more  closely  to  their 
Alma  Mater.  The  University  is  fortunate  in  being  able  to 
set  aside  a  rallying  place  for  the  men  who  have  left  her 
quadrangles.  It  will  mean  much  in  years  to  come  to  have 
them  frequenting  her  halls  in  increasing  numbers. 

The  new  hall  stands  ready;  it  rests  with  Chicago’s 
sons  to  give  it  meaning  and  purpose.  May  it  ever  foster 
comradeship,  unity,  and  loyalty! 

The  next  important  event  in  the  life  of  the  Club 
was  the  opening  of  the  bowling  alleys,  an  account  of 
which  appeared  in  the  University  Record  of  February, 
1904: 

On  Wednesday  evening,  January  27,  in  the  presence  of 
two  hundred  members  of  the  Reynolds  Club,  the  new  bowl¬ 
ing  alleys  in  the  basement  of  the  Reynolds  Club  House 
were  opened  by  a  contest  between  two  teams  made  up  of 
members  from  the  University  Faculties,  and  of  officers  of 
the  Club.  The  President  of  the  University  headed  the 
former  team,  and  he  was  supported  by  Dr.  Thomas  W. 
Goodspeed,  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Trustees;  Professor 
A.  A.  Stagg,  Director  of  the  Department  of  Physical 
Culture  and  Athletics;  Associate  Professor  Francis  W. 


16 


H  i  story  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


Shepaxdson,  of  the  Department  of  History,  and  Dr.  James 
W.  Thompson,  of  the  same  Department.  The  team  repre¬ 
senting  the  Reynolds  Club  was  headed  by  Mr.  Howard  W. 
Sloan,  president  of  the  Club;  and  Mr.  Oliver  B.  Wyman, 
vice-president;  Mr.  Roy  D.  Keehn,  secretary;  Mr.  Leon 
P.  Lewis,  treasurer;  and  Mr.  James  M.  Sheldon  of  the 
Law  School,  who  took  the  place  of  Mr.  Fred  A.  Fischel, 
the  librarian  of  the  Club. 

The  Faculty  representatives  were  beaten  by  a  score  of 
594  to  438,  Mr.  Stagg  making  the  best  score  for  the  Fac¬ 
ulty  and  Mr.  Wyman  the  highest  for  the  Club  Officials. 

The  new  bowling  alleys  are  regarded  as  practically 
perfect  in  equipment,  and  as  a  great  addition  to  the 
attractions  of  the  Reynolds  Club,  which  is  rapidly  becom¬ 
ing  a  very  popular  center  of  University  social  life. 
Already  an  Interfraternity  Bowling  League  has  been 
established,  and  a  series  of  competitive  games  is  being 
played  by  teams  representing  the  following  societies : 
Delta  Kappa  Epsilon,  Phi  Kappa  Psi,  Beta  Theta  Pi, 
Alpha  Delta  Phi,  Sigma  Chi,  Phi  Delta  Theta,  Psi  Upsilon, 
Delta  Tau  Delta,  Chi  Psi,  Delta  Upsilon,  Phi  Gamma 
Delta,  and  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon. 

The  alleys  are  of  the  regulation  size  and  of  the  Bruns- 
wick-Balke  make.  The  cost  was  fifteen  hundred  dollars, 
which  the  Club  itself  is  meeting  by  setting  aside  75  per 
cent  of  the  gross  receipts  from  the  alleys,  which  have  aver¬ 
aged  since  the  opening  about  twenty  dollars  a  day.  As  a 
first  payment  of  four  hundred  dollars  was  made  from  the 
general  fund  of  the  Club  it  is  hoped  that  the  alleys  may 
be  paid  for  in  full  by  the  middle  of  April.  Several  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  Alumni  Association  have  already  made  small 
gifts  to  the  bowling  fund. 

Aside  from  organizing  and  running  the  Reynolds 
Club,  the  first  officers  inaugurated  the  popular  Satur¬ 
day  night  smoker  and  the  Friday  night  informals.  It 
is,  however,  interesting  and  pleasing  to  note  that  each 
administration  has,  as  we  shall  see,  added  something 
of  importance  to  the  functions  of  the  Club.

History  of  The  Reynol  d  s  Club 


According  to  the  Constitution  the  annual  election 
took  place  on  the  first  Friday  in  March,  1904,  and  the 
following  officers  were  elected : 

President,  Roy  Dee  Keehn 
Vice-President,  James  Sheldon  Riley 
Secretary,  Harry  Wilkerson  Ford 
Treasurer,  Ernest  Eugene  Quantrell 
Librarian,  Frederick  Arthur  Fischel 

The  Reynolds  Club,  for  the  most  part,  enjoyed  a 
prosperous  year  in  1904-5.  With  the  exception  of  the 
Summer  Quarter  the  membership  was  large,  approxi¬ 
mating  three  hundred.  During  the  summer,  however, 
less  than  twenty  took  out  active  memberships.  During 
the  fall  and  winter  monthly  dances  and  smokers,  bowl¬ 
ing,  billiard,  and  pool  tournaments  were  given,  and  the 
annual  interscholastic  meet  was  conducted  by  the  Club. 

Several  changes  took  place  in  the  personnel  of  the 
Council  during  the  year  because  certain  men  gradu¬ 
ated  or  withdrew  during  the  year.  George  Buchan 
Robinson  was  elected  Treasurer  to  fill  the  vacancy  left 
by  Quantrell,  while  Roy  Dee  Keehn  was  graduated  at 
the  end  of  the  Autumn  Quarter  and  James  Sheldon 
Riley  was  elected  President.  Quantrell  was  elected 
Vice-President  upon  his  return  to  the  University  in  the 
Winter  Quarter.  Through  changes  in  the  Constitution 
the  Faculty  became  entitled  to  two  members  on  the 
Council.  Assistant  Professor  Joseph  Parker  Warren 
and  Assistant  Professor  Charles  Edward  Merriam 
were  chosen  after  Associate  Professor  James  Westfall 
Thompson  had  resigned  in  the  fall.

During  the  following  year,  1905-6,  the  membership 
was  increased  and  the  smokers  and  dances  were  better 
attended  and  more  successful  than  ever  before.  It  was 
at  this  time  even  necessary  to  use  the  reading-room  on 
the  first  floor  to  accommodate  the  unusually  large  at¬ 
tendance  at  the  Club  informals. 

Among  the  most  successful  of  the  smokers  were 
those  at  which  Mr.  McCutcheon,  the  cartoonist,  and 
Mr.  Richard  H.  Little,  the  war  correspondent,  fur¬ 
nished  the  programs.  At  another  of  the  monthly 
events,  two  of  the  city’s  billiard  experts,  Messrs. 
Demarest  and  Perkins,  participated  in  an  exhibition 
match  of  billiards,  and  at  still  another,  one  of  the 
champion  bowling  teams,  the  Hofifmans,  was  invited 
to  roll  against  a  team  composed  of  members  of  the 
Club. 

This  year,  as  usual,  the  Reynolds  Club  undertook 
the  management  of  the  entertainment  features  of  the 
University  Interscholastic  meet.  The  regular  billiard, 
pool,  and  bowling  tournaments  were  also  held  in  the 
Club. 

The  officers  of  the  year  were  as  follows : 

President,  Ernest  Eugene  Quantrell 
Lagene  Lavassa  Wright 

Vice-President,  Burton  Pike  Gale 

Secretary,  Lee  Wilder  Maxwell 

Lagene  Lavassa  Wright 
Evon  Zartman  Vogt

The  following  year,  1906-7,  found  the  Reynolds 
Club  in  excellent  condition,  owing  to  the  fact  that 
membership  was  more  strenuously  solicited  than  ever 
before.  From  quarter  to  quarter  the  membership  in¬ 
creased,  the  Winter  Quarter  showing  a  total  active 
membership  of  397.  The  increased  membership 
brought  with  it  financial  prosperity  which  resulted  in 
placing  the  Club  in  a  good  financial  position. 

During  this  season  the  first  “Hard  Times  Party” 
was  given  and  also  a  reception  in  honor  of  President 
and  Mrs.  Harry  Pratt  Judson.  These  occasions  have 
become  fixtures  among  the  social  events  of  the  Club. 

As  usual  the  Reynolds  Club  managed  the  entertain¬ 
ment  features  of  the  Interscholastic  meet,  and  con¬ 
ducted  the  usual  pool,  billiard,  and  bowling  tourna¬ 
ments.  The  officers  of  the  year  were  as  follows : 

President,  Earl  Dewitt  Hostetter 
Vice-President,  Huntington  Babcock  Henry 
Secretary,  Edward  George  Felsenthal 
Treasurer,  Donald  Putnam  Abbott 
Librarian,  William  A.  McDermid 
Faculty  Members — 

Assistant  Professor  Joseph  Parker  Warren

The  year  1907-8  showed  continued  improvement  in 
every  way.  There  was  an  average  membership  *of  458 
active  members  and  190  associate,  while  the  treasurer’s 


20 


H  i  s  t  o  r  y  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


balance  was  $3,219.44.  The  Constitution  was  issued 
anew  in  printed  form,  accompanied  by  a  life  of  Joseph 
Reynolds. 

The  usual  tournaments  were  given  under  the  aus¬ 
pices  of  the  Club  and  Interscholastic  men  were  enter¬ 
tained  through  the  Club.  The  officers  for  the  year 
were  as  follows : 

President,  William  Francis  Hewitt 
Vice-President,  Frank  Herbert  Templeton 
Secretary,  Karl  Hale  Dixon 
Treasurer,  John  Flint  Dille 
Librarian,  Alvin  Frederick  Kramer 
Faculty  Members — 

Assistant  Professor  Joseph  Parker  Warren 
Assistant  Professor  Charles  Edward  Merriam 
The  following  year,  1908-9,  brought  many  im¬ 
provements,  and  the  funds  of  the  club  increased.  A 
correspondence  room  was  equipped,  a  check  room  and 
lockers  were  installed  in  the  basement,  and  the  college 
dailies  from  the  largest  universities  were  added  to  the 
attractions  of  the  library. 

In  addition  to  the  regular  social  events  of  the  sea¬ 
son,  an  informal  was  held  in  “English  One”  during  the 
Spring  Quarter.  The  usual  number  of  college  dances 
were  held  in  the  Club  House.  The  membership  roll 
showed  460  active  members  and  195  associate  mem¬ 
bers.  The  officers  for  the  year  were  as  follows : 
President,  John  Flint  Dille 
Vice-President,  Winston  Patrick  Henry 
Treasurer,  Edward  Leydon  McBride 
Secretary,  Fred  W.  Gaarde 
Librarian,  Mansfield  Ralph  Cleary

The  year  1909-10  added  many  new  improvements 
that  have  been  sources  of  great  satisfaction  and  en¬ 
joyment  to  the  members  of  the  Club.  It  was  during 
these  years  that  a  board  walk  was  constructed  over 
the  Cloister  and  Cafe.  This  promenande  added  much 
to  the  attractiveness  of  the  Informal  Dances  during  the 
Fall  and  Spring  Quarters. 

During  these  years  a  new  set  of  scenery  was  pur¬ 
chased  for  the  Club  Theater.  The  scene  is  an  “exter¬ 
ior, ^ ”  and  has  been  of  material  assistance  in  the  pre¬ 
sentation  of  the  monthly  smokers  and  various  other 
entertainments.  At  the  same  time  a  new  grand  piano 
was  purchased  at  a  cost  of  $900,  for  the  second  floor, 
and  the  grand  piano  which  had  been  formerly  used 
on  the  second  floor  was  transferred  to  the  Club  Thea¬ 
ter.  The  officers  for  the  year  were  as  follows : 

President,  Winston  Patrick  Henry 

Vice-President,  Mansfield  Ralph  Cleary 

Secretary,  Earle  Albert  Goodenow 

Treasurer,  William  Lucas  Crawley 

Librarian,  Harry  Osgood  Latham 

Assistant  Professor  Merriam  was  succeeded  by  Asso¬ 
ciate  Professor  David  Allan  Robertson  as  Faculty  repre¬ 
sentative  on  the  Executive  Council,  Assistant  Professor 
Warren  continuing  as  representative. 

In  the  spring  of  1910  the  management  of  the  an¬ 
nual  Interscholastic  meet,  by  the  wish  of  the  Club  offi- 


22 


History  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


cers,  was  transferred  to  the  control  of  the  Undergrad¬ 
uate  Council,  which  had  just  been  reorganized. 

The  year  1910-11  has  brought  the  Club  to  its  great¬ 
est  prosperity  and  efficiency  to  date,  and  every  indica¬ 
tion  of  the  future  seems  to  point  toward  increasing 
membership  and  continued  improvement.  The  mem¬ 
bership,  which  is  now  the  largest  in  the  history  of  the 
Club,  reached  500  active  and  207  associate  members. 

The  facilities  of  the  Club  Library  were  increased 
one-third  by  the  purchase  of  a  large  table,  two  large 
arm  chairs,  several  smaller  chairs,  and  a  newspaper 
rack.  All  periodicals  were  rebound  in  morocco  leather, 
and  many  of  the  later  popular  magazines  were  added 
to  the  already  large  reading-list.  In  addition  to  these 
improvements,  the  club  purchased  new  rugs  at  a  cost 
of  $2,500.  The  old  rugs  were  re-made  to  fit  the  Exe¬ 
cutive  Chamber  and  Correspondence  Room. 

Besides  these  improvements  to  the  Library,  many 
new  features  have  been  added  to  the  Correspondence 
Room.  Two  new  desks  have  been  added,  and  Web¬ 
ster’s  New  Unabridged  Dictionary,  a  Railroad  Guide, 
and  a  City  and  Telephone  Directory  have  been  placed 
in  the  room  for  the  convenience  of  the  members.  A 
new  lighting  system  was  also  installed  in  the  Locker 
Room  and  Barber  Shop. 

The  balance  in  the  treasury  on  April  1,  1910,  was 
$4,428.08;  that  on  April  1,  1911,  $4,594.84.

The  officers  elected  for  the  year  1910-11  were: 
President,  Charles  Lee  Sullivan 
Vice-President,  Cyrus  LeRoy  Baldridge 
Secretary,  Frank  John  Collings 
Treasurer,  Hume  Clifton  Young 
Librarian,  Edward  Henry  Earle  Bowlby 
Faculty  Members — 

Assistant  Professor  David  Allan  Robertson 
Assistant  Professor  Joseph  Parker  Warren 
Assistant  Professor  Robert  Andrews  Millikan 

Several  changes  in  the  personnel  of  the  Executive 
Council  took  place  during  the  year,  owing  to  the  with¬ 
drawal  or  absence  from  the  University  of  certain  of 
the  men.  Cyrus  LeRoy  Baldridge  succeeded  Charles 
Lee  Sullivan  as  president,  and  Earl  H.  Bowlby  acted 
as  secertary  during  the  Lall  Quarter,  1910,  as  E.  J. 
Collings  was  forced  to  be  absent  from  the  University, 
accompanying  the  University  baseball  team  to  Japan. 
William  Phillips  Comstock  was  appointed  vice-presi¬ 
dent  to  fill  the  vacancy  left  by  Cyrus  L.  Baldridge,  and 
William  Pyraemus  Harms,  treasurer,  to  fill  that  left  by 
Hume  C.  Young.  With  the  return,  however,  of  F.  J. 
Collings  during  the  Winter  Quarter,  1911,  the  person¬ 
nel  of  the  Council  was  once  more  complete. 

At  the  regular  annual  Club  meeting  of  March  4, 
191  r,  the  following  officers  were  chosen: 

President,  Richard  Frederick  Teichgraeber 
Vice-President,  Ralph  James  Rosenthal 
Secretary,  Arthur  Dale  O’Neill 
Treasurer,  Paul  Mailers  Hunter 
Librarian,  Kent  Chandler

Associate  Professor  Millikan  was  appointed  Fac¬ 
ulty  representative  upon  the  death  of  Mr.  Warren, 
Associate  Professor  Robertson  continuing  in  office. 

The  most  important  accomplishment  of  the  1911- 
12  administration  was  the  panelling  of  the  walls  of  the 
bowling  alleys,  at  a  cost  of  $900. 

The  reception  given  for  President  and  Mrs.  Judson 
in  the  Winter  quarter  was  the  most  brilliant  social 
affair  which  took  place  at  the  Club  House  during  the 
year.  The  membership  was  largest  during  the  Winter 
quarter,  there  being  498  active  members  and  196  asso¬ 
ciate  members. 

The  officers  elected  for  the  year  1912-13  were: 

President,  Kent  Chandler 

Vice-President,  Paul  Mailers  Hunter 

Secretary,  Milton  McClellan  Morse 

Treasurer,  George  Doney  Parkinson 

Librarian,  William  Hereford  Lyman 

In  the  Winter  quarter,  1913,  a  cigar  stand  and  hu¬ 
midor  were  installed  in  the  billiard  room  at  a  cost  of 
$300.  Before  installing  the  cigar  stand  it  was  neces¬ 
sary  for  club  members  to  patronize  neighborhood  drug 
stores  for  cigars  and  confections,  whereas  at  present 
twenty  brands  of  cigars,  popular  brands  of  confections 
and  nic  nacs,  stamps  and  stationery  are  on  sale  at  the 
Club  House. 

The  elections  in  March  were  perhaps  the  most  ex¬ 
citing  in  the  Club’s  history.  For  weeks  before  the  elec¬ 
tion  the  Daily  Maroon  ran  editorials  and  communica- 


2.5 


History  o  f  The  Reynolds  Club 


tions  from  students  advertising  the  coming  election  and 
calling  attention  to  certain  principles  which  they 
thought  should  be  followed  by  the  Reynolds  Club 
Council.  As  a  result  of  this  publicity  the  different  can¬ 
didates  announced,  through  the  Maroon ,  their  plat¬ 
form,  which  they  pledged  themselves  to  carry  out 
should  they  be  elected.  It  was  proposed  by  one  candi¬ 
date  for  president  that  all  undergraduate  men  should 
be  compelled  to  join  the  Reynolds  Club  and  that  the 
membership  dues  should  be  reduced  from  $2  per  quar¬ 
ter  to  $1  per  quarter.  The  other  candidate  opposed 
this  proposition. 

At  this  election  by  far  the  heaviest  vote  in  the  his¬ 
tory  of  the  Club  was  polled,  510  of  the  572  active 
members  voting. 

The  officers  elected  for  1913-14  were: 

President,  George  Doney  Parkinson 
Vice-President,  Milton  McClellan  Morse 
Secretary,  Samuel  Webster  Wells 
Treasurer,  Robert  William  Miller 
Librarian,  Cowan  Douglas  Stephenson 

On  account  of  the  withdrawal  from  the  University 
of  Vice-President  Morse  in  the  Spring  quarter,  Horace 
Charles  Fitzpatrick  was  appointed  by  the  Executive 
Council  to  fill  the  unexpired  term.

In  many  ways  the  year  19 13- 14  was  one  of  the  most 
successful  years  since  the  opening  of  the  Club.  The 
following  are  some  of  the  things  ‘done  which  have 
marked  it  as  a  year  of  progress : 

In  the  first  six  months  the  receipts  from  the  cigars 
and  confectionery  departments  increased  from  $150 
per  month  to  $400  per  month.  This  increase  necessi¬ 
tated  the  installation  of  a  new  system  of  keeping  ac¬ 
counts.  As  a  result  all  purchasing  of  supplies  of  all 
sorts  is  done  through  the  office  of  the  University  Pur¬ 
chasing  Agent.  A  complete  daily  inventory  of  stock 
is  now  taken  and  each  day’s  cash  receipts  are  checked 
against  a  cash  register  record.  This  entire  new  sys¬ 
tem  was  worked  out  in  the  office  of  the  Treasurer  of 
the  Club. 

At  an  expense  of  $250  a  system  of  indirect  light¬ 
ing  has  replaced  the  inadequate  plant  which  was  for¬ 
merly  in  use  in  the  reading  room  on  the  first  floor. 

At  a  cost  of  $150  eight  oak  wardrobes  were  built 
in  the  billiard  room.  A  new  drinking  water  system 
was  installed  with  fountains  in  the  basement  and  on 
the  second  floor.  This  system  supplies  the  Club  with 
ice  water,  whereas  heretofore  the  water  came  from  an 
inadequately  iced  tank  at  the  west  end  of  the  Men’s 
Commons,  after  running  through  a  conduit  along  with 
hot  water  pipes. 

An  official  Club  seal  was  adopted  which  is  used  on 
all  dance  programs,  social  stationery  and  book  plates. 
The  design  for  the  seal  was  taken  from  a  carving  in  the 


35 


History  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


North  wall  of  the  Club  building.  The  following  mot¬ 
to,  which  is  the  composition  of  Dean  Percy  Holmes 
Boynton,  will  be  cared  in  the  shield  in  the  stone  wall : 
“Filii  Ejusdem  Almae  Matris”  (Sons  of  the  same  be¬ 
loved  mother). 

Miss  Mary  Wood  Hinman  and  her  assistant,  Miss 
Mary  Louise  Abernethy,  have  co-operated  with  the 
officers  of  the  Club  in  the  management  and  chaperon- 
age  of  Club  dances,  and  as  a  result  the  standard  and 
tone  of  Reynolds  Club  dances  have  been  noticeably 
elevated.  This  year's  formal  dance  was  held  in  Hutch¬ 
inson  Hall  and  was  pronounced  by  many  as  the  best 
formal  dance  the  Club  has  ever  given.  The  question 
of  how  to  relieve  the  congestion  of  the  dances  has  been 
a  great  problem  which  has  been  partly  solved  by  danc¬ 
ing  on  three  floors  of  the  Club  House.  At  the  last 
three  dances  of  the  year,  including  the  formal,  there 
were  more  than  two  hundred  couples  present.  To  meet 
this  difficulty  the  University  has  consented  to  the  use 
by  the  Club,  free  of  charge,  of  Hutchinson  Hall  for  all 
regular  Reynolds  Club  dances.  The  last  informal  of 
the  year  was  given  under  this  arrangement.  It  was 
found  necessary,  however,  to  use  the  second  floor  of 
the  Club  House  in  addition  to  Hutchinson  Hall  in  or¬ 
der  to  accommodate  the  increased  number  of  guests.

The  most  important  thing  that  was  accomplished 
during  the  year  was  the  installation  of  a  library.  The 
lack  of  a  library  has  been  a  crying  need  ever  since  the 
opening  of  the  Club.  However,  the  idea  first  took 
definite  shape  in  the  Spring  of  1913,  when  the  officers, 
at  the  instigation  of  the  Daily  Maroon ,  appointed  a 
committee  to  get  a  library.  Associate  Professor  Percy 
Holmes  Boynton  consented  to  serve  on  this  committee, 
which  included  also  Clyde  M.  Joyce,  ’12,  Hiram  L. 
Kennicott,  T3,  Earle  A.  Shilton,  T4,  and  Frederick  W. 
Croll,  T5.  Ex-officio  members  included  the  president 
of  the  Club,  George  D.  Parkinson,  T4,  and  the  librar¬ 
ian,  Cowan  D.  Stephenson,  T5.  This  committee  was 
given  full  power  to  install  a  library,  this  meaning  that 
they  were  to  work  out  a  feasible  scheme  for  raising 
funds  and  also  for  operating  the  library.  They  were 
also  given  power  to  choose  the  books  for  the  library. 

Active  steps  looking  toward  the  realization  of  the 
plans  for  the  library  were  made  in  the  Autumn  of  1913, 
when  a  vigorous  solicitation  of  funds  by  mail  was  car¬ 
ried  on.  Faculty  members,  trustees,  alumni  and  stu¬ 
dents  were  addressed  with  the  request  that  they  con¬ 
tribute  not  alone  money,  but  books  or  ideas  for  the 
purchase  of  books.  By  the  first  of  January  some  $600 
and  about  400  books  had  been  donated,  while  the  com¬ 
mittee  had  on  file  a  considerable  number  of  sugges¬ 
tions  to  guide  it  in  selecting  the  authors  to  be  repre¬ 
sented  and  the  titles  to  be  chosen.  While  reasonably 
insistent  and  persistent,  the  committee  kept  steadfastly 


38 


History  of  The  Reynolds  Club 


in  mind  a  determination  to  get  a  library  if  the  men 
wanted  it,  not  because  they  should  have  it.  From  the 
first  public  sentiment  approved  both  the  idea  and  the 
means  adopted  to  further  it.  One  trustee  gave  $100; 
another  gave  fifty  books.  The  Faculty  responded  gen¬ 
erously.  Alumni  not  only  sent  money,  but  contributed 
ideas  of  value  to  the  committee.  The  Order  of  the 
Iron  Mask  engineered  a  campaign  for  individual  do¬ 
nations  from  active  Reynolds  Club  members.  The 
Score  Club  gave  the  proceeds  of  two  dances,  aggregat¬ 
ing  close  to  $50.  The  Pen  Club  and  other  undergrad¬ 
uate  organizations  showed  substantial  appreciation  of 
the  library  plans.  The  Blackfriars  have  pledged  ap¬ 
proximately  $200.  The  Reynolds  Club  officers  not  only 
voted  a  total  of  $200  cash  to  the  project,  but  stood  the 
expense  of  circularization  and  other  incidentals,  total¬ 
ing  upwards  of  $100.  The  University  authorities  gen¬ 
erously  allowed  the  University  libraries  to  loan  (in 
perpetuum,  it  is  hoped)  150  suitable  volumes  to  the  in¬ 
fantile  library.  And  almost  best  of  all,  the  same  very 
human  Expenditures  Committee  authorized  the  ex¬ 
pense  of  $200  necessary  for  the  shelving  that  has  trans¬ 
formed  the  south  room,  second  floor,  of  the  Club 
House  from  a  mere  committee  room,  to  a  charming  li¬ 
brary  with  a  capacity  of  4,000  volumes.  President 
Judson  early  evinced  great  and  sympathetic  interest  in 
the  library,  and  the  handsome  support  of  the  Univer¬ 
sity  was  largely  secured  by  the  efforts  of  a  supplement¬ 
ary  committee  appointed  by  him  from  the  Faculty,  and 
including  the  following:  James  R.  Angell,  chairman;

THE  NEW  HOME  OF  THE  LIBRARY

Ernest  De  W.  Burton,  Trevor  Arnett,  and  David  A. 
Robertson, 

The  make-up  of  the  library,  its  physical  equipment, 
etc.,  are  apparent  and  need  not  be  discussed  here.  It 
is  desirable,  however,  for  the  benefit  of  the  future  gen¬ 
erations  of  Reynolds  Club  members  that  a  clear  idea 
of  the  raison  d’etra  and  fundamental  principles  of  the 
Reynolds  Club  Library  be  preserved  in  lasting  form. 

The  library  was  started  because  it  was  felt  that  the 
men  who  belonged  to  the  Club  should  have  an  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  become  acquainted  in  their  spare  moments 
with  the  best  books  of  the  best  authors.  It  was  recog¬ 
nized  as  true  that  the  University  Libraries  afforded  op¬ 
portunity  to  read  almost  everything,  but  it  was  remem¬ 
bered  that  the  General  Library  is  within  a  man’s  reach 
only  when  he  is  on  business  bent;  it  was  the  purpose 
of  the  Reynolds  Club  Library’s  backers  to  make  good 
books  available  to  the  men  when  they  were  at  leisure 
and  when,  perhaps,  the  pages  of  the  funny  papers  had 
lost  for  the  moment  their  fascination  or  the  pool  tables 
their  lure.  The  fundamental  principles  were  estab¬ 
lished  as  (i)  interest,  (2)  availability,  and  (3)  free¬ 
dom  from  supervision.  Since  the  library  must  neces¬ 
sarily  be  restricted  in  size,  it  was  decided  to  make  the 
library  a  “scrapy”  one — made  up  of  particular  books 
adjudged  to  have  a  particular  appeal  to  Reynolds  Club 
members.  It  was  decided  also  that  the  library  should 
be  an  “open-shelf”  library;  the  books  should  stand 
ready  for  prospective  readers  to  step  up,  help  them-

selves  and  retire  with  the  volume  of  their  choice  to  any 
corner  of  the  Club,  being  bound  in  honor  not  to  take 
the  book  out  of  the  Club  House,  although  not  enjoined 
necessarily  to  return  it  to  the  shelves  or  even  to  the 
Library  room.  No  attendants  were  to  be  in  evidence. 
Such  work  as  replacing  books  on  the  shelves  and  ar¬ 
ranging  them  in  their  right  order  was  to  be  done,  when¬ 
ever  possible,  when  the  room  was  not  occupied. 

The  Library  Committee  has  been  made  a  permanent 
institution  and  will  be  appointed  by  the  Executive 
Council  at  the  beginning  of  the  Winter  Quarter  each 
year,  to  act  for  one  year.  The  members  of  the  com¬ 
mittee  for  the  year  19 14- 15  are  Hiram  Kennicott, 
Chairman,  Dean  Percy  Holmes  Boynton,  Faculty  Rep¬ 
resentative,  A.  K.  Sykes,  Sam  Kaplan,  Fred  Croll,  and 
J.  V.  Nash;  the  president  and  librarian  of  the  Club 
acting  as  ex-officio  members. 

Among  other  improvements  which  have  been  made 
in  the  Club  during  the  year  1913-14  are:  a  new  toilet 
and  lavatory  in  the  bowling  alleys  for  pin  boys,  at  a 
cost  of  $280;  overhauling  of  billiard  room,  including 
new  ivory  and  cues,  $500;  a  U.  S.  mail  box  from 
which  four  daily  collections  are  made ;  a  bootblack  in 
the  barbershop  whose  receipts  for  shines  approximate 
$20  a  week ;  an  additional  barber ;  the  barber  shop  and

lobby  have  been  decorated  in  white  enamel ;  an  add¬ 
ing  machine  has  been  purchased ;  all  of  the  windows 
on  the  first  and  second  floors  of  the  Club  have  been 
screened.  Handsomely  framed  views  of  the  Club 
House  have  been  hung  in  the  University  Club  of  Chi¬ 
cago,  Dean  Boynton's  outer  office,  office  of  the  Super¬ 
intendent  of  Buildings  and  Grounds,  the  lobby  of  Cobb 
Hall. 

The  Reynolds  Club  seal  has  been  worked  into  a 
handsome  gold  watch  charm  which  will  be  worn  by 
all  former  and  future  Club  officers.  Twenty  former 
officers  have  already  purchased  the  charm. 

The  number  of  dances  each  quarter  was  changed 
from  two  to  four.  Fuiks’  orchestra  of  eight  pieces  has 
furnished  the  music.  There  have  been  fewer  smokers 
than  formerly,  but  with  the  snappy,  well-rendered  pro¬ 
grams,  the  ten-cent  cigars  and  the  “eats”  in  the  Com¬ 
mons  Cafe,  they  have  been  a  great  success. 

The  reception  given  by  the  Club  for  President  and 
Mrs.  Judson  on  February  6th  was  pronounced  the 
most  successful  President's  reception  ever  held  at  the 
University.  The  entire  Tower  Group  of  buildings 
was  used.  After  the  reception  Tomaso's  orchestra 
played  for  dancing  in  Hutchinson.  Fifteen  hundred 
people  attended  the  reception. 

In  the  Autumn  quarter,  1913,  there  were  620  ac¬ 
tive  members  of  the  Club  (40  more  than  at  any  other 
previous  time)  and  209  associate  members.
